Thanks for the kind works!

I see what you mean about the dropdown sorting being a problem. Unfortunately UM only provides an autocomplete feature on the multiselect field.

I will definitely add a some sorting to the dropdown results in the next release.

If you want to implement this yourself in the mean time, you could add the necessary WP Query argument(s) between line 125 and 153 in the plugin file.

Frouck, you are welcome to contact us on our website (plusplugins.com) if would like us to do some custom development work for you. Thanks.

Hi there.

Thanks for the feedback! At the moment we have only added support for display on the profile form, and not, as you mention, directory or search integration.

We will add your suggestions to our idea list and will consider adding them in the next update.

Hi Frouck

This is possible but not supported by the plugin.

You would need some custom code. More specifically, you would need to hook into the um_profile_tabs filter and check for the presence of a user meta value.

We’re not planning on building an options screen for this plugin, as it’s really nothing more than a quick hack to get relational fields. We’d rather recommend forking the plugin and adapting it to your own needs, like in this case.

You can try the following code, but it is untested.

<?php if (um_user('mybands')) {
$bands = um_user('mybands');
$bands_output = array();
foreach ($bands as $band) {
  $user_info = get_userdata($band);
  $bands_output[] = '<a href="' . get_permalink(get_option('um_core_pages')['user']) . $user_info->ID . '">' . $user_info->display_name . '</a>';
}
echo implode(", ",$bands_output);
} ?>

Hi Peter,

Sure, this is an easy fix.

Please replace line 242 in the plugin file from

$names[] = '<a href="' . get_permalink(get_option('um_core_pages')['user']) . $item->user_login . '">' . $item->display_name . '</a>';

to

$names[] = '<a href="' . get_permalink(get_option('um_core_pages')['user']) . $item->ID . '">' . $item->display_name . '</a>';

Let me know if that works for you.

Assuming that mybands is one of the fields set up with this plugin and thus only contains ids, but you want the actual name of the band to display you can do something like this:

<?php if (um_user('student_subjects')) {
$subjects = um_user('student_subjects');
$subject_output = array();
foreach ($subjects as $subject) {
  $subject_output[] = get_the_title( $subject );
}
echo implode(", ",$subject_output);
} else { echo "No data";} ?>

The above code was however used for a link to a custom post type. If mybands is linking to another user role the code would have to be adjusted for getting user data.

Hi there

Can you please activate WP Debug and post the error message here? This will allow us to help you solve this error.

Awesome, glad you found it useful.

Hi there.

It seems you are misunderstanding how the plugin works. You can not edit fields in tabs other than the default “about” tab. That is how UM works. We cannot change this.

You can only display fields in tabs created with this plugin. To do so, you have to use the shortcode as mentioned above. If you do not want the field to appear in both the “about” tab and the custom tab, set the visibility to “edit mode only” in the form builder.

Hope that makes it clearer.

PS. Please do not comment on a resolved thread – rather open a new one.

Thanks for the awesome feedback!

I’m pretty much all out of suggestions now. I’m guessing it’s a theme issue as we’ve had no other reports of a similar error.

Fortunately you can still easily add custom tabs without the plugin. There’s documentation on how to do this available on the UM website.

Sorry the plugin didn’t work for you.

I have no idea whether this might work, but please change line 9 in the plugin’s core.php file to:

add_action('template_redirect', array($this, 'show_profile_tab_content'), 20);

Let’s see if that resolves the problem.
